Ryan and Tami Canaday: Building Community and Finding Hope in Recovery
“And so not only was it tough in Our Early 20s just trying to figure out how to be around each other and live with each other, we were kind of coming out of a very conservative background and learning, I guess, a different understanding of god, and so that was hard too.”
What happens when a couple turns their personal battles with addiction into a mission to help others? Meet Ryan and Tami Canaday, the dynamic duo behind FREE Spiritual Community, as they open up about their journey on 'Beyond the Bars'. Ryan, the Lead Pastor and Executive Director, and Tami, the Communications and Coffee Director, are not just partners in life but also in their passion for recovery and healing.
In this heartfelt episode, they discuss how community and spirituality have been their anchors through tough times. Ryan shares his sobriety journey that began on January 7, 2013, and how it led them to create a safe space for addicts, their loved ones, and spiritual seekers. The Canadays talk about the power of vulnerability, intentionality, and storytelling in fostering deeper connections with God and each other. They also highlight the role of ethically sourced coffee in their community efforts.
This episode is a testament to hope, resilience, and the beauty that can emerge from life's messiest moments. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Ryan and Tami's story offers valuable insights and inspiration.
